Beachfront Bliss

Situated at the end of a cul-de-sac in beautiful Bakoven, this quintessential beachfront bungalow offers direct access to one of Cape Town’s best kept secret beaches. Blending seamlessly in with its stunning surroundings this sensational South African home is the epitome of indoor-outdoor coastal living. Boasting unbeatable views of the Atlantic Ocean, Lion’s Head and The Twelve Apostles as well as a private plunge pool, outdoor shower, veranda complete with plush seating and an alfresco dining and barbecue area, this hedonistic hideaway really does have it all. Behind a rustic reclaimed front door, you’ll find a massive, multipurpose kitchen cum dining and living room complete with breakfast bar, wine cooler and wood burning stove. The perfect place to entertain as well as relax and unwind, this laid-back, light filled home is sure to seduce. You’ll love taking your morning coffee out on the veranda, listening to the sound of the sea while lazing on loungers in the sun or dozing in the deckchair and taking the plunge in the splash pool. Rinse off under the outdoor shower before barbecuing a feast of fresh fish and dining alfresco on the patio. Whatever the weather, you’ll love wandering down to the boulder strewn beach to bask and bathe or taking your ‘simple sams’ out for a spin. Delight at chillier times of year in cosying up on the sofa in front of the wood burning stove and gazing out at the most mesmerising of views. If you fancy getting out and about, you’ll find you’re only a stone’s throw away from Camps Bay’s boutiques and buzzing bistros and bars. Having walked the length of the white sand beach, why not stop at one of this affluent suburb’s mellow cafes or sophisticated seafood restaurants before indulging in a little retail therapy or treating yourself to cocktails and comedy? Trust us, you won’t regret it.
